Dwight Yorke slams Manchester United for pathetic Danny Welbeck sale

Check out all the latest Manchester United news and transfer gossip from today.

Dwight Yorke has labelled Manchester United "pathetic" for the way they dealt with Danny Welbeck's departure, claiming the striker's £16 million sale to Arsenal is a "disgrace". (Manchester Evening News)

The former Red Devils star - who won the treble in 1999 - was stunned by Louis van Gaal's transfer decision, and believes Arsene Wenger has secured something of a bargain by bringing the 23-year-old to the Emirates.

Yorke pointed to other deals completed over the summer, like Luke Shaw's £27m move from Southampton and Adam Lallana's £25m switch to Liverpool as evidence that Manchester United let Welbeck leave on the cheap.

He feels that the England international will prove his true value in a central striker role for the Gunners, having already netted a hat-trick for his new club against Galatasaray in the Champions League.
